In a study on the speed of muscle contraction in a certain species of frogs under various loads, researchers found that the speed of contraction decreases with increasing loads. In particular, they found that the relationship between speed of contraction v (in centimeters per second) and load x (in grams) is given approximately by v(x) = 29+0.05x/x, x≥5

(A) What does v(x) approach as x increases?
(B) Sketch a graph of the function v.
